What is a ranch style house? This popular design style turns heads with streamlined layouts and a wide profile. Typically a single story (with a low-pitched roof), ranch house plans can be great for aging in place and accessible living. They also include indoor/outdoor living areas, simple exteriors, and open-concept floor plans. These eight designs do a great job at showcasing the ranch style.
